NTFS issue

I suggest:

1) open terminal

2) type: id - you will see the currently logged in user ID (UID) and 
group ID (GID) - remember them. Usually they are both 1000. If you need 
current user to access NTFS, then those are the ID-s, what you need.

3) into /etc/fstab write:

/dev/hdb2       /media/hdb2     ntfs 
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

You may also not use the umask parameter in /etc/fstab

4) The NTFS partition will be mounted with appropriate user rights:

sudo mount -a


For checking, what and where is mounted:

mount


5) You may want to set right permissions to the folder, where it will be 
mounted.


By the way - there are the project called Linux NTFS - 
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/

You may want to mount NTFS with full write access...
